Headless WordPress with Astro: editor comfort, record speed.
We pair WordPress as your content hub with Astro as the front end, giving you near-instant page loads, top Lighthouse scores and very little JavaScript, while your team keeps writing in WordPress.

Why it matters
Content-heavy sites deserve to be fast.
Blogs, publishers, documentation and marketing sites are mostly content, yet many ship heavy themes and scripts that slow every page.
Astro builds pages ahead of time and only adds JavaScript where it is truly needed. Connected to WordPress, it gives you the speed of a static site with the content workflow your editors already rely on.

Why use Astro with WordPress?
Astro produces extremely fast pages with minimal JavaScript, while WordPress offers a familiar editor. Together they are ideal for content-heavy sites.
Can editors preview content before it goes live?
Yes. We set up preview routes so editors can check drafts on the Astro front end.
What happens to my existing WordPress theme?
It is replaced by Astro templates. Your content stays in WordPress and we recreate the design in Astro.
Is Astro suitable for e-commerce or membership sites?
For heavy logged-in functionality, a traditional or hybrid setup may be better. We will recommend the right approach after discovery.
